Vivid
“Ashley Bustamante’s Vivid paints a world built on secrets and carefully controlled color palettes.”

Realms of Light
“Author Sandra Fernandez Rhoads creatively uses classical art and Milton’s writing to give Cera necessary information to fight the darkness, drawing readers deeper into this urban fantasy world.”
